  1. I would like to use Mailerlite with stripe and xero to sell my products. When I log into stripe my products catalogue is empty. I need my products in stripe to be able to use the Mailerlite landing page to sell my products

    Hi!

    Thanks for sharing this idea about synching inventory items between Xero and Stripe..

    Now it's up to the community to get behind the idea and support it. Make sure you share your idea with any colleagues that this could benefit so they can add their vote too!

    Along with votes, other members can now add their comments about how integrating inventory items between the two would also improve their experience.

  2. ABILITY TO AUTOMATICALLY CHANGE ITEM PRICE ON A SPECIFIC DATE

    Obviously item prices vary and when we give customers notice of a price change, sometimes this is months in advance. Now I know I could add a note to the item, but seriously, this would mean checking the notes for every item which would become very tiresome + time consuming.
    I would like the ability to be able to go into a line item and be able to change the price of the item on a specific date, so that it when that date comes the item price has automatically…

    Hi Kirstie

    Thanks for sharing this idea about setting future prices for inventory items.

    It's now up to the community to get behind and support your idea. Other members can now add their votes and comments about how this could also benefit them.

    In the meantime, you'd need to edit the price at the relevant date, either manually or by exporting and importing your items if you need to update lots of prices at the same time.

  3. The ability to see the history of an item's selling pricing within the Invoicing screen would be extremely helpful. Sales staff would be able to quickly access the selling price history of items within the Invoice screen to ensure that the latest price is used on invoices.

    The ability to see this history within the invoice screen will also remove the need to access a separate report in Xero to view the history of inventory item sales price, which will save a lot of time.

    This would also be particularly beneficial for businesses who have frequent changes in their selling…

  4. There is no reason to override a cogs associated account to a purchase account in the inventory item summary.

    The suggestion is to allow the inventory item summary report to report on items as they are actually tracked on the P&L meaning material purchases are a cogs and should show in the cogs on this report.

  5. It would be good to be able to set a mark up margin for loaded products and services. This way when our cost goes up we could just alter the cost price and it would automatically adjust the sale price rather than us having to work it out for every item and load it manually.

  6. Xero Inventory Plus should be an option, similar to Expenses and Projects, for any/all users regardless of roles. I need everyone on my team to see where our inventory stands.

  7. Inventory - We are considering switching to Xero from Sage50, but have come across the issue of not being able to add an inventory item's "Bin Location" to the packing slip. We could include the bin location in the description of the item, but we don't want this to appear on the customer invoice. We only want the item's location to appear on the Packing Slip for the warehouse operatives to locate the items easily.

  8. When looking up product history Xero lists what invoices product was sold on. It would also be nice to be able to see the customer's name. This would make things much easier when trying to look up pricing assigned to specific customers.

  9. On the Xero mobile app, it would be great to be able to search Products & Services. If a customer wants a price on an inventory item, I have to create an invoice or quote, then add an item to see a price. A Product & Services link off the Dashboard would be very helpful.

    Hi community, our product team have started exploring some improvements in inventory in Xero with the ability to bulk update the sales price of inventory items by a percentage being one they've set their eyes on! 

    For now, we'll shift to Under review and I'll be back to share more when there's news 😊

  12. The "View all transactions" link from a specific product/service should display the Inventory items details report just for that specific product/service. Currently it shows all products and just for the current month. So really isn't doing what is implied in the link.

  13. It would be useful to add possibility of using long figures of quantity when entering inventory transactions. For now only 4 decimals are allowed. On practice it would be great if up to 10 would be possible.

  14. Would it be possible to be able to select Quantity on Order as a column option in the Inventory Item Summary report.
    Such feature would greatly enhance the product overview in this report.

  15. In the Products and services 'Transactions' page I would like add a column so I can see who I sold a particular product to without going into every invoice separately.

  16. I would like to be able to bulk edit a select, small number of products and/or export them to CSV for editing and re-importing.

    We have 4000 SKUs, and if I want to edit 20, a simple bulk edit feature would be very useful. The CSV is unmanageable and needs to be split up for re-importing. It makes a huge task when it needn't be.

  17. 50 characters is often insufficient to identify separate products in (particularly) technical book names or descriptions especially where there are different versions of the same book (hard/soft covers, multiple language versions)

  18. Suggestion: enable the 'Columns' feature that is available in the customer activity list to more parts of Xero. I would like to be able to hide the 'Cost Price' column from Products & Services on the front-of-house system so it's not visible to customers when we are doing a price check.

    Hey team, thanks for your support on this idea and apologies we haven't updated sooner. There is now a columns option on the Products & services list view - While Cost price will be shown as a default you can click the Columns button in the top right of the list to deselect this from appearing.

    We appreciate further feedback here on how this currently resets. This is something our product team intend to work on and I'll share further communication here once this is updated. 🙂

  19. We sell software from various vendors and many have rules relating to how their products are sold e.g. "Must include min of one license of X before customer can order any licenses of "Y" OR "Software Maintenance should be ordered with the licenses, otherwise it is ordered as a "Maintenance Upgrade" (with different pricing), and many other examples.

    Updating these each time a new price list is issued must be done manually as Notes cannot be imported or exported making it very tedious.

    Also, with Notes being at the bottom of the screen and needing to be expanded to see…
